Just encountered this exact issue several times, you just need to rerun tauri ios init and wait the cocoapods package updating some Apple dependencies.

[chrox]

In case of any misconfigurations, please ensure that you follow the prerequisites for iOS.

[szmarci]

I did follow the guide, but every time I run tauri ios init, I get back the original error:

Info package `cocoapods` present: true
failed to install Apple dependencies: Failed to check for outdated packages: No such file or directory (os error 2): No such file or directory (os error 2)
    Error failed to install Apple dependencies: Failed to check for outdated packages: No such file or directory (os error 2): No such file or directory (os error 2)
error: script "tauri" exited with code 1

I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I don't have homebrew installed, I have cocoapods installed with sudo gem install cocoapods

Restarting your mac may resolve the issue

[zaynetro]

Looking at the code this error happens either if gem outdated failed or brew outdated --json=v2 failed. Ensure that both of these commands are present on your machine.

[szmarci]

I don't have homebrew installed, I installed dependencies manually or via macports. I can't use homebrew, but according to the docs it is only used for installing cocoapods, which I installed via gem. I also updated all packages via gem outdated. Nothing changed, I still get this error.

[zaynetro]

You don't need to install homebrew. I personally have put this script in my PATH:

#/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

cmd="$1"
if [[ "$cmd" == "outdated" ]]; then
  # npm run tauri ios init  runs  brew outdated --json=v2
  echo "{ \"formulae\": [] }"
  exit 0
fi

echo "-------------------------------"
echo "brew was called with args:"
echo "$@"
echo "-------------------------------"

I agree that it is annoying that homebrew is "secretly" used when running the project.

@zaynetro Thank you very much, I finally got it working with your script. I never would have thought they are using it like that...
